DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tarbert
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Na h-Eileanan Siar and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tarbert as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What affects the price in Tarbert
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Tarbert. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HS3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Tarbert: your questions answered
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you work in Tarbert?
We do. Technicians travel to Tarbert from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
